Moving a vehicle that has been sitting
Before calling, gather what you know about the vehicle. Are the tires inflated? Are the keys available? Does it roll, steer and brake? There is no need to guess or test something you are uncomfortable with. Tell us what is known and what is uncertain.
Access can be as important as vehicle condition. Mention a narrow entrance, a garage, a gate or other vehicles nearby. If the pickup is on someone else’s property, coordinate access with the person responsible for the location before making the arrangements.
Make the destination part of the plan
Have the delivery address ready, including any instructions from the receiving shop or property. A business address alone does not establish that someone can accept the vehicle. Check the receiving arrangements and let us know about any timing constraints when you call.
For an unexpected roadside problem in Holmesburg, begin with your immediate location and the symptoms. Jumpstarts, tire changes, lockouts and fuel delivery are offered alongside towing. We can discuss the request without you having to decide whether it belongs under a particular service name.
GOOD QUESTIONS.STRAIGHT ANSWERS.
Can a car be towed if it does not start?
A non-running vehicle can be discussed as a towing request. Tell us whether it rolls and steers, whether keys are available and how it can be accessed.
What if I am not sure where it should go?
Call to discuss your situation. If you want repair work, contact the receiving shop to confirm the work and delivery arrangements before finalizing the destination.
